Vintage Dress shoe appreciation, tips, maintenance and advice

[Nealjpage]

Thanks.

Tried and feels good, but left it behind though.

They're probably worth flipping. Size and cost?

Cool but unmatched shoe trees in a thrift give me sads. I searched the racks for the mates to these but had no luck.

Then, oh boy did the shirt rack pay off. 8x Isaia size 15 1/2 dress shirts, probably headed to Japan. A Loro Piana polo, a Comme des Garcons polo that fits me and some miscellaneous Patagonia and Arcteryx for my sons. PPU well under $5.

I never find trees. Never.

Keep looking. Here are the ones I've thrifted that are too small to fit my shoes. And this is just what's left after getting cleaned out twice by @Resipsaloquitor.

Which of you snagged these? I meant to bid but my Friday got too crazy at work.

The other tree to that middle one would be nice

I never find trees. Never.

Ask a store clerk where they set them out. They are almost never anywhere near the shoes. Once I learned where to look I started finding them regularly/

Love the many style variations that FootJoy produces like these.

Incoming ... not sure if these Tony Lamas are vintage. But vintage western boots are such great deals for those who wear them. It is new venture for me to try out.

ha! Well I was trying to give the seller a little benefit of the doubt. It would be hard to place a value on these. I can only say for me, I would probably price these a little lower.

As we all know the market determines values of things. It’s funny to think a used pair of 93605 at the time they were still being made were worth a lot less than they are now. These shoes are obviously VERY rare and thus the opportunity to acquire them is extremely limited.

These have been on ebay for well over a year. Possibly years. Nothing I've seen compares in price to the NOS Tuczeck shoes listed for $30k a while back. I wonder what they sold for.

 

[Joe Wohkittel]

Agreed. It’s weird that these are labeled as turtle because they definitely look more like gator to me.

Definitely not turtle. I don't think they are Etonic either. I think that's just an insert that was placed in these shoes. I messaged the seller about them maybe a month ago and never got a response.

One last post:
faux gator x mesh loafers ~9.5 (not mine)

Uh...... too small for me.
